Zoo School Programs

Open your students' eyes to a world of wildlife!

Zoo School is the ultimate educational experience for students grades K-5.

Explore the wild side of education! Zoo School focuses on the animal-side of Busch Gardens, with grade-based wildlife presentations, customized electives, keeper talks and explorations of animal areas. Connect with Next Generation Sunshine State Standards and challenge your students with a one-of-a-kind educational experience you can only find at Busch Gardens.

Zoo School is a self-guided experience that fits within your school day from 9:45 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. Before your visit, you’ll receive supplemental materials, including standards-based activities to guide you through animal exhibits and help make the most of your day.

At Zoo School, your class will explore animal-focused areas of the park while engaging in self-guided activities provided by Busch Gardens. Due to the educational focus of the program, rides, shows and attractions are not included in the Zoo School experience.
